22h 25min, oct 8, 1871 y - Fire Spotted

Description:

A watchman spotted the fire soon after it started but reported it in the wrong spot. This delayed the timing of the first responders which lead the fire to spread even more during that time.


Catherine O’leary, 1871, Recollection. Abakanowicz Research Center. Chicago History Museum.
